How do you incentivize workers? One company in Japan thinks they've found the answer: subsidized steak at the corporate cafeteria. Metal parts Castem offers bottomless steak bowls for just 190 yen (USD $1.22).
So, I recently purchased the newest Sofi Tukker song and downloaded it onto my computer to listen to at work.
I forgot about it when I opened my file explorer. My recent files list looked as follows:
Quarterly Sampling Report
Compliance Task List

"Return-to-office mandates at some of the most powerful #tech companies — #Apple, #Microsoft and #SpaceX — were followed by a spike in departures among the most senior, tough-to-replace talent...

My two cents on how #AI will change our #work in the future. It will not make us better, it will reduce the quality of our work. Because people are lazy and AI is not that smart and creative yet. People will try to "outsource" their work to algorithms and accept the mediocre results.
